On Monday, BJP IT Cell Chief Amit Malviya refuted as 'fake news' the assertion by Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala alleging that Congress' office in Amethi was raided by the Yogi government without reason.
Taking to Twitter, Surjewala had accused that the Yogi Adityanath-led government of indulging in 'politics over Corona' and said, "Congress' office in the Gauriganj District was raided without reason and without a warrant, the administration reached to raid the office. Maybe the work being done by Rahul Gandhi and the Congress workers for the people of Amethi is not being digested by the Yogi government."

Amit Malviya retorted to the Congress saying that they had still not come to terms with the fact that Amethi had 'rejected' them and that's why they felt the need to 'peddle fake news'. He attached the confirmation posted by the District Magistrate of Amethi, IAS Arun Kumar who revealed that he had asked for an investigation into the matter by SDM of Gauriganj who found the news of the raid to be 'untrue and baseless.'
